openers. lauren simonetti joins us from fox business network in new york. october has been off to a good start. is it more that europe is settling down or we are seeing good earnings here in the u.s.? >> it is good earnings here. many say if you pay attention to the latest stream of corporate profits, the latest being from caterpillar, the ceo saying there is political and economic uncertainty in the world but it is not affecting us. 73% of companies have beaten expectations. the dow is up nearly 105 points yesterday. and get this, up 1,000 points in the month of october. that is the biggest monthly gain since back in 1999, the dow and the knack are positive for 2011. the s&p 500 is very close. >> i like that. finally some good news and something nice to talk about. let's talk about housing right now and the harp program. kind of break this down as to what this means, who this affects and we heard from the president yesterday about this. >> right. the harp program, the home

affordable refinance program is more than two years old but it really hasn't worked. it was expected to keep millions of struggling underwater home owners in their homes and so far, through the program, not evening magazine one million have been able to use it. now, under new changes that will be fully announced mid- next month, the president and the white house are saying they are going to make refinancing much easier. if you are underwater on your home and you owe more on your mortgage than your hope is worth, that is okay. you can refinance. he is giving inisn'tives to the banks andlander out there to refinance. all in all, people are saying about one million people can stay in hair homes with the savings they get flu refinancing. the average is about $500 a year. proponents will say people will use that money, they'll invest it in stocks. opponents say hey, the white house has tried this for several years now. this isn't going to work.

the housing market is bad and this isn't the fix. that is the program and hopefully, it will work. >> and the banks could opt out of it or say no or decline the application but do they think that the incentives for the banks to actually go along with this will outweigh that? >> the problem right now is that there is really only four big banks that actually handle mortgages. back in the heyday, there were so many banks that did so the competition is pretty fierce right now so they don't have to promote all of these refinancings and the obama administration is trying to change that. how they are going to do it specifically we do not know yet but we are hearing that the inisn'tives will be pretty good so i guess, steve, i cannot answer your question. >> that's all right. you explained it well enough. thank you very much. we'll see you tomorrow morning. still head, a college student fighting for an inheritance that she says is rightly hers. find out why a charity benefiting from her stepfather's generosity is challenging her claim to the money. that is when fox 5 morning news
